Lucy did not contest this, and Ferry was granted a "decree nisi" which in British court parlance means he was the wronged party." No, I have not forgotten 'the official line', a tactic to preserve the 'bankable image' of the 'bread winner'. "At some point, he found comfort with one of the backup dancers during the reunion tour." Very soon into the 2001 Roxy Reunion he 'found comfort' with Ms. Turner - approximately one year before the word 'divorce' was publicly 'floated'. "Do you further recall that Lucy Ferry came to their marriage an alcoholic..." And he brought drug addiction, too. In short, the information is in the public domain and a timeline is easily discerned: Mr. Ferry is a womanizer whose infidelity is well documented since the early years of his marriage. Their marriage was maintained for 'the sake of appearance' and because 'divorce' was not agreeable to Mr. Ferry, since the early 1990's. While neither of the principles are no saints (who is?) there is an abundance of evidence to suggest that both endured a great deal of hardship. What I totally disagree with is the 'villainization' of Lucy Helmore Ferry and the 'sanctification' of Bryan Ferry. "So if you look at what HE had to tolerate vs. what SHE had to tolerate, I think he emerges hands-down as the more sympathetic figure. I quite agree, BF is 'the more sympathetic figure' - we love his music, we are 'connect' to him on deep emotional levels that do not extend to his family! Best wishes.

Yea right, monogamous Mr F, the man with the ejector seat flies. How can you be so naive, I'd swear on the complete works of Enid Blyton that I'd committed adultery with a troop of baboons if it netted me a cool 10 million (mind you, looking at some of my ex-boyfriends...)

I'm not sure who's naive here. Since the single most humiliating moment of his life was when it went public that a certain former girlfriend cheated on him, I have trouble believing that he would be keen on paying the mother of his children a sum of $10 million to lie and go public with similar humiliating fare so that he could feel that wonderful sensation all over again. Men have pride, you know. Also, let's remember a couple of minor facts, just to keep things in perspective. $10 million dollars is an admittedly speculative number being reported by the press, who report it by saying "estimated," I believe, which in American English means "We made it up out of thin air," as is the ridiculous net worth $100 million figure. And for anyone who isn't aware, the story that broke this week originated with The Sun, though it was picked up by a couple of other papers. But it originated in The Sun, the same paper, I will just remind you that on the same day it broke the Katey/Ferry story last year ran just below it an article about a man who was caught having sex with a road cone. This is all I'm saying....most of the stuff in that paper would make nice early Eno lyrics.

Men have pride, you know. 1. We have no idea what the single most humiliating moment of Mr. Ferry's life is; and 2. Never underestimate the price people are willing to pay for personal satisfaction. I shudder to think of how many of my ex-boyfriends would be happy to pay in order to have me utter the 3 sweetest words in the world: "I was wrong."
